Gustav Berggren group
Metalloproteins and their cofactors
Our research
The Berggren group is characterized by an interdisciplinary approach to bioinorganic chemistry, combining synthetic chemistry with classical biochemical and biophysical techniques, and covers a broad range of topics related to metalloproteins and their cofactors. Emphasis is placed on understanding the interactions between the peptide and the inorganic cofactor in the active site, and showing how this knowledge can be used in (bio-)technological applications.
